My Happy Butterflies

My happy butterflies Bright yellow wings, scalloped in velvety back, are fluttering In the mellow morning air, Dancing in happy search of nectar on a purple, sweet scented clover bud. Joined by his mate, equally wondersome decorated. They greet each other in a joyful dance. “Follow me, I know of a fragrant, red butterfly weed blossom over here-- come on!” “Oh yes, I like this! Now come and taste this gorgeous orange- painted Zinnia.” “Why, thank you, it’s quite good, I like it too!” A goldfinch is clinging to a swaying milkweed, but it does not bother the frolicking couple, It takes to the air, swooping further down the colorful meadow, While my happy Swallowtails found a rain puddle. “Ah, this is just what we need , a cool drink,” they smile.
